‘The Bachelorette’ winner — and Ben’s buddy — says the show may be editing her to look bad, but Ben should still watch his back! HollywoodLife.com spoke with J.P. EXCLUSIVELY and he opened up about this season.

HollywoodLife.com spoke EXCLUSIVELY with J.P. at a Junk Food Art House event during STYLE360 in New York City on Feb. 15, and he admitted that he has some very strong feelings about the show this season.

“Courtney knows how to manipulate,” he said. “Granted, you don’t see everything. You don’t know the whole story. From what we have all seen, she’s being portrayed as the manipulative monster. Do I think she’s that bad? No, probably not. But I hope he can see the real her, assuming that is the real her.”

Do YOU think Courtney is manipulative or just edited to look bad, HollywoodLifers?
